Welcome to Couch Potato Theater here on the Fandom Podcast Network. Couch Potato Theater is THE podcast covering all those hidden gems, cult classics and Guilty pleasures that are just so good, even though you might have the Criterion Collection or Deluxe Blu-ray set in your library just mere inches away from your entertainment center, you love what you are watching SO MUCH, you don't even care about getting off the couch. And THAT my friends is the DEFINITION of what our Show is all about.

Join Adam O’Brien, our Aussie guest host of this four part series, where we look at each episode of the Mad Max franchise. Joining him in this quest is his dear friend, Kevin “The RaiderNerd” Reitzel co-founder of the channel, and cohost of Culture Clash, Blood of Kings and many of the great podcasts of the FPN. Adam and Kevin look back through the film with a fine tooth comb, digging up trivia even fans didn’t know.

With special bonus interview with Aussie film maker, podcaster and fan Blair Hiscock of My Saga Podcast, and the Pops Culture video channel.

So join us, the Fandom Podcast Network, here on the Maximum Couch Potato Theater for the Mad Max (1979) Retrospective!

Your shuttle-pod-casters for this episode - Norm and Kevin - engage the Quantum Drive engine and "spiritually" travel back to September 10, 2017 as they re-live their very first experience with The Orville through rewatching the pilot episode OLD WOUNDS in this first official re-watch of The Orville on DiscoVille! There's no better way to pass the time waiting for Season Two...than with a comprehensive and in-depth look at each and every episode of Season One!

Norm and Kevin also take an in-depth look at THE WORLD OF THE ORVILLE Book by Jeff Bond which is the most complete OFFICIAL resource for The Orville to date. The book ranges from excerpts from some of the most notable contributors to The Orville - such as director Brannon Braga, to writer David A. Goodman, to costume designer Joseph A. Porro and of course so many stories and anecdotes from the man behind it all...Seth MacFarlane.

So let's make sure our sodas are in their cup holders and the Bridge cat is safe and snug as we ENGAGE the QUANTUM DRIVE!!!

Like Kevin and Norm always say at the beginning of each and every Blood of Kings episode, "On this show, we cover all things Highlander..." and this episode is no exception!

Kevin and Norm are joined by The Immortal Cimoli's biggest fan and editor of Blood of Kings - Mr. Mike Sellers, along with Steven Phillip Rice, to discuss the HIGHLANDER ONLINE CARD GAME. Mike and Steven go in depth in their discussion and cover everything from the history of the collectible card game from 1995, to the first online version of the game that helped keep the fan base alive in the early 2000s, to where you can play the game TODAY with both real and VIRTUAL cards.

Also, Kevin and Norm had the opportunity to do a very fun and informative interview with #SWORDXP Musketeer Priscilla Manriquez and 2 time Sword XP veteran Tammy Buckner as they recount their adventures from the Lexington Kentucky Sword Experience on March 9th, 2018.

For those of you that have been following Culture Clash you know Kevin and Kyle have been conducting the countdown to Infinity War, due to time constraints and Avengers being moved up we bring you this special going over the last 4 Movies before Infinity War releases.

Well between cleaning up all the orange soda and other things left behing by Michael Morris and Alex Autrey, plus the matter of Kyle's slave to taxes status it has been a minute here at the Culture Clash but Kevin and Kyle are BACK BABY!!! Not only are they back they are back with a Thrum Scissorpunch!!! See if the guys can get the show back on track after the April Fools Hijinx and the overdose of Taylor Lautner.

As for what was covered in this weeks episode, well there is some Solo, there is some EXCELLENT adventure, we might even have to call in a doctor even if it seems a little strange? Oh and we learn Kevin's love for Buck Rodgers to and really what more do you need??

Welcome to the second of the Fandom Podcast Networks Ready Player One specials. This however is no ordinary special as we have logged into the Oasis and arranged a team-up with Chris Cantley of the Get to the Good Part Podcast. For those of you who may not be familiar Get to the Good Part is currently doing a great chapter by chapter show on Ready Player One.

For this show we talk with Chris about his thoughts on the movie and how it stands out from the book but does it represent the book well. We also talk about the things we love that are Ready Player One and what maybe we wish we saw from the book but also what the movie gave us that maybe the book didn't, plus we even look at what might be next.

So grab Anorak's Almanac, throw it into reverse, get your giant mech and your pop culture references ready because it is time to once again dive into the Oasis and talk some Ready Player One!

Continuing their discussion from Episode 72, both Norman C. Lao and Mike Sellers dive even deeper with a LIVE...well recorded "live" commentary on Highlander: The Series THE IMMORTAL CIMOLI from Season Four.

During the commentary, both Norm and Mike discover so many nuanced and revealing character moments in the development of Danny Cimoli as he learns how to use and abuse his newly discovered immortal ability. Danny just wanted to have his moment in the literal spotlight. However this ignorance and immaturity towards THE GAME strained his relationships with Duncan and Amanda as they tried to give hime the tools and experience necessary to survive the violence of the immortal existence.

Norm and Mike also speculate on why Damon Case really IS NOT a villain and is quite possibly one of the purest "players of The Game" and represents the strictest nature of the rules as we understand them and how they apply to the classic adage of Highlander, "There can be only ONE!"

So please join Norm and Mike for PART TWO of their deep dive examination into the world of THE IMMORTAL CIMOLI.

In the first of TWO Ready Player One reaction shows Kevin and Kyle are joined by longtime FPNet contributor (and apparent CEO) Matt Clifton to get all of our reactions to Ready Player One. What we loved, what we thought of the differences between the movie and the book and maybe what we wish had made it from the book into the movie and what the Movie did right. Then in a special interview Kevin and Kyle are joined by fellow FPNet Co-Founder Norman Lao as we get his very interesting perspective on the film as he was the one who turned everyone here at FPNet onto the book in the first place.

So join us as we log into the Oasis for our first of two Ready Player One reaction shows and keep your eyes peeled for our second show with our friends from the Get to the Good Part podcast!
